Hi guys got a problem ,I'm tring to help a friend sort out , our local kubota dealer lost there kubota dealership , said they can't help any longer , the tractor turns if the levers are both pushed the same amount , he measured the rods on each side ,both the same, has just 28 hrs, just started doing this ,my BX had a bolt that you removed on the 50 hr svc and you cleaned the metal particles from the screen, does the ZD-18 have anything like this? The mower acts as if the left hydro has only 70% power , are there hydro filters on both sides,or one filter for both? Any help that you can give would be great Thanks Craig.

We from time to time have taken care of other dealers or makes warrantee work do to costs of travel or because we have an individual that has a lot of experience on those machines.
